Charges of breaking and entering and robbery have been laid against a 15-year-old boy from the Whitebear First Nation after a pregnant woman was assaulted back in June.

The teen is accused of breaking into the home of a 21-year-old woman and assaulting her.

According to RCMP, the woman suffered life-threatening injuries then delivered a baby girl despite her poor condition.

“The 21-year-old victim has been released from hospital, but the baby girl remains under medical care,” said RCMP Sgt. Paul Dawson.

The name of the accused can’t be released because he is under the age of 18.
